We are often asked "What is STA (Short Term Accomodation? And how can I get funded for it in my plan?

Short Term Accomodation, including respite, is support for when you need to live out of home for a short period. It can be used for respite to support you and your carers. STA can give you the opportuinity to:

Try out new things

Make new friends

Develop new skills

Maintain your current living situation

Giving your informal supports a break

Our team will tailor your STA stay with activities highlighting community engagement and capacity building as part of your NDIS goals.

Our experienced trained support staff are hand selected from many applicants based on their expertise, qualifications and dedication to the disability industry and bring with them a range of amazing skills.

You will be supported in each activity throughout your stay in a 1:1 ratio.

STA is built into your NDIS Plan under the Core Supports Section. CORE funding can be used flexibly to allow you the choice of having Short Term Accommodation.

If you would like to know more about STA ,or if you don't having funding for STA in your plan, we can help you to request it in your next plan.

For more information you can contact Kirsten 0456 179 577.

How can I ask for STA/Short Term Accomodation in my NDIS plan?

The NDIS provides funding based on your specific support needs and how your carer and/or informal support network are impacted.

The more support you require, the more funding they’ll likely provide.

Like with any support, The NDIS will fund STA if it relates to your disability support needs. They may fund this in your plan if you have specific goals around 'preparing to live independently', ‘becoming self-sufficient with all areas of daily living’, ‘relieving pressure on my informal supports’ or 'making new friends'.

The NDIS generally require a lot of evidence to give you STA funding. You will need to supply any evidence that makes it easier for the NDIS to understand why it’s reasonable and necessary for you to receive STA.

This could include formal documentation from an Occupational Therapist or other professionals, as well as a letter from the people providing informal supports, explaining why they (and you) would benefit from a break.

If you would like assistance in asking for STA in your NDIS plan, you can contact our Support Coordinator Cathy on 0413 664 859 via the contact us via the button below.
